90-MINUTE DELAY on Tuesday, January 21

Colorado Skies Academy will be on a 90-MINUTE DELAY on Tuesday, January 21, due to forecasted low temperatures in the morning. 

The wind chill is expected to be well below zero at daybreak tomorrow. In that environment, frostbite is a very real risk for any exposed skin. A delay will give temperatures a chance to rise so that we don’t have kids and staff outside during the cold early morning hours. Thankfully, temperatures are forecasted to warm up during the day, with highs in the upper 30s to low 40s.

A 90-MINUTE DELAY means that school is delayed by an hour and a half.

  • CSA will open for drop-off at 9:00 a.m.

As always, in the case of inclement weather, we respect the decision of our parents to keep their children home, if needed - this will be an excused absence. If you choose to do so, please report the absence using the online form or by calling CSA.

Safety is a top priority, and we will keep in close contact with CCSD to monitor the storm and the road conditions. We will provide any updates on our website and social media.

Dear CSA Families,

CSA offers many services and supports that you may not yet be aware of. Everything we do is intended to support our learners and help them grow academically, emotionally, and socially and we want to be sure that you are aware of what exists.

Counseling: At different times, learners may need to talk with someone, receiving additional support. CSA has contracted with the Cherry Creek School District (CCSD),  and their mental health professionals (counselors) are on call for our learners. Within an hour, a professional is on site at CSA to provide any support.

English Language Support: CSA learners who need additional language support have a CCSD English Language Support Specialist who goes into their classrooms once a week providing instructional supports and strategies that learners can use in any class.

Special Education Case Manager: CSA has a full-time Special Education Case Manager who is on site to meet the needs of those learners who need her support. CSA contracts for her services through CCSD, and she brings in other support specialists as needed.

Social Worker: In addition to having mental health professionals on call, CSA has a CCSD social worker on site a few days a week to support our learners.

School Nurse: CSA operates under a Nurse Consult model with Tender Care Consulting, LLC. They are available at a moment’s notice for any health-related needs and to ensure that CSA is in compliance with all medical and health-related requirements for schools. The registered nurse works with our Health Care Team Member, Sarah Phillips, in providing on-site care and support for our learners.

Last, but not least, every day there are facilitators, Care Team members, administrators, and other staff members who are here to support our learners in any way they can. We value our learners and want to do everything we can to ensure their success at CSA.

Warm regards,

Suzanne Acheson
School Director
